one6G at the 6G Briefing conference in São Paulo, Brazil
On November 12-13, 2024, one6G participated in the 6G Briefing held in São Paulo, Brazil. Represented by Prof. Luciano Leonel Mendes from Inatel, one6G contributed to discussions on the future of wireless communication.
This two-day tech conference brought together leaders from industry, academia, standardization organizations, and startups to explore innovations and strategies for the global rollout of 6G by 2030. Key topics included advancements in network infrastructure, AI integration, spectrum allocation, and 6G use cases, alongside discussions on privacy, sustainability, and ethics.
In his presentation, Prof. Mendes highlighted one6G’s efforts in advancing research and practical applications of next-generation wireless technologies, showing how mobile networks can evolve to support important use cases and applications for strategic verticals. To provide a practical example, Prof. Mendes talked about South America, where agro-business, mining, environment monitoring, public safety, and border control are important applications that could benefit from a ubiquitous mobile infrastructure integrated with non-terrestrial networks. Current technology can provide high throughput and large coverage radio access networks, which can complement the satellite coverage for more reliable and effective coverage in remote and rural areas. Technological solutions like this can be applied in several places worldwide, helping to close the connectivity gap between urban and rural areas. Prof. Mendes also emphasized the importance of international collaboration in achieving a robust and inclusive 6G ecosystem.
Set against São Paulo’s vibrant business backdrop, the conference served as a platform for insightful discussions aligned with the ITU’s 2024 initiatives. one6G’s active participation underscored the Association’s commitment to advancing innovation in wireless technologies and contributing to the global vision of seamless, inclusive connectivity. By addressing key challenges and presenting transformative solutions, one6G has reinforced its role as a driving force in shaping the future of 6G.
